Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 11, 2007 12:08 pm) Thank you much for your reply. When I first wrote, I did not realize that the driver's seat goes back much farther than the passenger side. Mr. Long legs does just fine when driving. It will take a longish trip to see how he will do in the passenger side. I agree with you, though; I don't want to do anything that would make the car unsafe. Thanks again.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 28, 2003 2:14 pm) Everyone I searched and could not find this question answered. I have a 2003 Yukon Denali and change my own oil. (I use Mobil 1 and wont spend what oil change places charge for synthetic oil). I have been told but wanted to verify that this truck does NOT need chassis lubrication. I see a few zerk fittings, but no information on chassis lube. I could do this if the known locations are 'known'. Anyone have this service manual or know the details? Denali has the AWD, 6.0L engine etc..etc.. thx Jim Replies to this message: bolivar (Feb 12, 2007 5:26 pm) imidazol97 (Feb 12, 2007 5:35 pm)

Replying to: smithsonga (Feb 12, 2007 9:29 am) 1)If I saw a jerk fitting, I would lube it. If the fitting is into a rubber 'boot' fitting, CAREFULLY lube it and do not blow out the boot. 2)Read the owners manual. It 'might' show the lube points. Some do not, thinking this is beyond the average owner. 3)Read the owners manual. The maintenance schedule, carefully. If there are lube points, the maintenance schedule WILL tell you when (time and milage) the recommended schedule is for maintenance.

Replying to: smithsonga (Feb 12, 2007 9:29 am) If you like knowing about your car and reading about things, I recommend the Helm FActory Service manuals. They print the GM service manuals. HelmInc Yukon If you've got the $135, it'll seem money well spent after you look up how a couple of things are service or are put together. Sometimes you can find these on the net on auction sites.
#3202 of 4967 Water dripping out of tailpipe by fullcircuit Feb 13, 2007 (9:54 am)
I just bought a used Chevy Express 1 ton box van. I noticed water dripping out the exhaust. There is a small hole in the muffler just where it meets the exhaust pipe where it drops as well. What are the possibilities? thanks fullcicuit Replies to this message: qbrozen (Feb 13, 2007 10:28 am) Mr_Shiftright (Feb 13, 2007 7:53 pm)

Replying to: fullcircuit (Feb 13, 2007 9:54 am) if it is just water, then it is just condensation. totally normal.

Replying to: fullcircuit (Feb 13, 2007 9:54 am) You get about 1 quart of water for every gallon of gas you burn. If you do short trips sometimes the water will trap in the low spots in the exhaust system and rot it out.
#3205 of 4967 new battery and lights keep blinking by rheric Feb 14, 2007 (2:33 pm)
Just put a new battery in a 2000 Subaru Impreza (cold finally killed the old one...). Started up fine, no weird lights on the dash...BUT the lights keep blinking on and off. Hazard lights and the dash, 30 times and then a pause, then another 30 times, over and over. Any ideas? I'd hate to kill yet ANOTHER battery. Thanks!

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 14, 2007 3:25 pm) My guess is that this is not something I can fix myself. Is that true? Thanks for the quick reply, it is very much appreciated. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 14, 2007 5:30 pm)
